Darren,

First of all, I'm not funk. I speak for myself.

If you note carefully, I've not said anything bad or good about cyber or MB. That's not my point.

My point is YOU!

You're a typical "netcop" type. BTW, you'll note that NO WHERE have I threatened to get anyone kicked off this forum. YOU DID. You can pull a typical "Darren" and lie about it (as you did about colored T&S in Cyber), but the point is it's in BLACK and WHITE (just like cyber ;) that you threatened to have someone removed.

I'm not a netcop. I don't like you, Darren. I don't like people even LIKE you. I don't like what you say and I don't like what you do... BUT, as Voltaire said, I'll defend to THE DEATH your right to say as you please. You may not like me and I may not like you, but what I dislike more than anything is anyone attempting to squelch free-speech EVEN IF IT IS OFFENSIVE! I'll also call you EVERYTIME that you try to squelch what someone else says.

Darren, think about this. If what the other fellow said was so awful and offensive, then LET IT STAND ON IT'S OWN! HE, not YOU, will make a fool of himself if that's indeed what he's doing. We don't need people like you jumping in and "protecting" us all. Seems to me the world has had quite enough of people and regimes "protecting" us from themselves (Russia, China, Iran, Iraq...need I go on?)

Oh, and to reiterate, I never said anything bad OR good about either MB or Cyber, though you've (miserably) attempted to twist it so that it seems that I did. My beef is with YOU. Nay, my beef isn't even with YOU. It's with YOU playing netcop! Comprende?

As I said above, I don't like what you say, but rather than call for "big momma" and have that person removed, I simply speak up.

In other words, if you'd just told the guy "hey, I don't like your language, can you tone it down a bit?" You would never have even seen the name "mojo" in your mailbox. What you did, and what I'm calling you on and what I will continue to call you or anyone else on, is attempting to have people forcibly removed due to their LANGUAGE. Someone threatens you physically? No problem, you have every right to call the powers that be. Someone on the forum attempts to mailbomb you or attack your computer? Ditto, call the cops. But someone uses langauge you don't like or says somethign you don't like, you DO NOT have a right to attempt to squelch them. Not sure if you're an American or not, but I submit that what you are doing is UNAmerican.

Anyway, that's where I'm coming from. And you contine to take the arrogant, priggish tone you do with others and you'll get it crammed down your throat 10 times 10 times. You attempt to deal with people in a CIVIL manner and you'll get kind returned.

Good Day, Sir!
